Qt minimum version will be updated to 5.15

ParaView currently does not build against Qt 5.12, which was end-of-lifed in 2021. We are planning to make the minimum 5.15 for ParaView 6.1. Please let us know if that causes any difficulties.

Update: In ParaView 6.2, support for Qt 5 will be dropped altogether.

Side question, is there a list somewhere of Paraview dependencies and their minimum versions? Thanks.

You can find the main dependency minimum versions here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/blob/master/Documentation/dev/build.md#prerequisites

@cory.quammen Thanks!

Was Qt 5.15 end-of-lifed earlier this year? I would be curious how many systems get cut out of the minimum Qt version jumps to 6.x.

Yes, Qt 5.15 support was ended in May: Qt | endoflife.date
